St. Joseph Healthcare recently opened the Boris Family Center for Interventional Radiology and Oncology at St. Joseph’s Hamilton in Ontario, Canada, funded through a $3.2 million gift from the Boris Family.

The staff are estimating more than 4,000 radiology procedures will be done at this facility this upcoming year. With the donation, St. Joseph’s was able to purchase an air-handling unit that provides surgical-grade quality air that reduces the spread of airborne diseases. 

They were also able to get ultrasound and angiography machines that will help in providing patients service from any area of specialty they need.
